I have said many times before that we fans planted our flag in the sand (metaphorically!!) that day v Blackpool. We showed that come what may we love our club. Think I went to 35 games that season32,134
The players were easy to like back then, it’s not like we were shit and had a load of shit knobheads playing for us.
Weaver Weikens Morrison Horlock Dickov Goater are still loved now, never mind at the time. There are statues of some of the best footballers ever to play in this country going up around our ground, but these lads are just important to our history as the lads who are getting statues.
Loved that team!
We were certainly 'At the edge'I have said many times before that we fans planted our flag in the sand (metaphorically!!) that day v Blackpool. We showed that come what may we love our club. Think I went to 35 games that season
Anyone got a copy of that programme? Can they turn to page 21 and tell me where Paul Aimson was that day and where he is now??
got to be about a millionHow many digits are in a million?
Covid. Patient zero identifiedRemember it well only cos I had a stinking cold and couldn't taste the beer in the pub beforehand. Me and a mate only slightly outnumbered in the home boozer. Carl Cort got the winner for them iirc.
Good to see you're "flying the flag" for the band. Impressive knowledge!We were certainly 'At the edge'
(of oblivion?)and were thinking we had to 'Go for it 'as we 'Gotta get away' from this division. We had to 'Listen' to our hearts that we weren't just 'Good for Nothing' and surely it 'Stands to reason' that we wouldn't be this shit for ever!!
That Blackpool game really was a ' fuck it I'm sticking with these fools along with my fellow sufferers no matter how bad we are 'wasn't it. Thought we'd walk the Division after that game, reality check by The Thames the following Friday evening though!

Was at the Wrexham away game, seem to remember there being only 3 stands, stand to the right was being re built I think, I remember it being absolutely freezing, I was sat on front row of seats above the standers below and the wind blew right through me that day, got back to the Robin Hood in Swinton for pint and some lads saw the program on the bar and went to great lengths to tell me how they used to support City and were now rags, I simply didn’t have any words for them, what the fuck did they expect me say, congratulations!Wasnt there,Millwall away and wrexham were the most interesting days out in that season.Complete inbreds out to see the big team and cause trouble.However the wierdest lot were Gillingham away loads of scum shirts.
But as with all City positive records it’s been expunged from the collective media mind, so is never mentioned. It’s only the brave persistent souls of our 3bn fanbase (they that have heard of the words ‘Manchester’ or ‘City’ in any context) that keep this immortal day remembered.I believe it was a record attendance for York City, 5,004,566.
